We’ve launched the Twiistup Community area of the site so that attendees can connect with other attendees prior to the main event on July 17. We’ve included a number of ways to get quick info on:
* Titles of attendees
* Companies represented
* Types of people attendees want to meet
* Topics that you want to discuss
* Favorite drink (had to throw that in)
The profiles also include feeds from member’s Flickr, blog, bookmark and Twitter streams. This is not unlike other social networks out there but is focused on who will be at Twiistup. This is a great way to advance the dialog and stage of new connections before the event is here. Our partner CrowdVine also powers Future of Web Apps (FOWA), BarCampBlock and Web 2.0 Expo.
Browse the network and sign up for an account by clicking the Who’s In tab above or directly at: http://twiistup4.crowdvine.com/
What should you do once you’re in?
* Add a picture. That’ll help people put a name to a face.
* Fill out your profile. This will help people find you.
* Find people you know already through our Facebook importer.
* Build a list of people you want to meet. If you want, you can check people off this list as you meet them.
Most importantly, have fun! It’s supposed to be social!
